Thread: How much sets for isolations

Honestly I don't think this ultimately matters that much as long as your major lifts are programmed well and improving. 1-2 or 3-4 sets of curls, for instance, should be a matter of what you feel like.

Bicep pumps are fun though so it's nice to burn them out at the end if I'm on the eve of a rest day or something, IMO.

What is classic full body training?

Take a time block and blast away at whatever you feel

Attacking....ten minutes of bis:tris:calves is an opportunity to pump
It up!

I like to use two exercises per muscle group, 3 sets each exercise, whether it's compounds or isolations(although I prefer one compound and one isolation per area); so 6 sets total volume for the muscle. I seem to progress decently that way.
